I don't, they don't seem to be very useful for gaming.

They're good in RTS games. Have the expanded map on one screen and the rest on the other. Supreme Commander and World in Conflict support this option I think (pretty sure WiC does).

I am soon to be.

I have a 13" Macbook (white), and hopefully tomorrow the nice UPS man will drop off my Mini DVI to VGA so I can hook it up to my new and spiffy 19 inch widescreen monitor.

:DD

Yes, at work I use two 19" monitors. Haven't done it at home yet. Maybe after tax returns this year. :)

I tried using dual monitors with my 24" iMac a few months ago.

I bought the DVI adapter, but it didn't work. In retrospect, I think I may have somehow broken the DVI cable that I got with the monitor. I just haven't gotten around to replacing it.

At this time, it would be a major chore to hookup the 19" widescreen monitor, along with the 24" iMac. There just isn't enough room in my tiny apartment to rearrange everything.

Yep, I use an external 17" display as my main workspace and the 17" laptop display as my secondary. Hopefully I'll be getting a matrox dual head to go or a usb video adapter so I can power the second external 17" display I have. Might also get 2 22" displays or 2 24" displays.
